looks to me like someone had to replace the whole spindle setup at one point and just went to a junkyard and got the whole thing from an ex and slapped it on there

Also looks like they lost or snapped off the bottom bolt on the caliper bracket too.

So does your car pull to one side when braking?

I'd at least get the 2 bolts and attach that brake line bracket asap so your brake line isn't riding on the cv boot :thumb:

- Tue Jul 17, 2012 3:14 am #311154 maybe they didnt hit anything with it to cause damage maybe it was something like a wheel bearing where it was easier/cheaper for the person to just jerry rig a new spindle setup on there :thumbdown:

id be worried about what else is half assed on the car
